Feature writing
This document discusses the key characteristics and components of a feature story. It defines a feature story as an in-depth look at current issues and events that aims to explain why and how trends are occurring. The dominant purpose is to entertain readers. Good feature stories exhibit creativity, human interest, factual content, entertainment value, timelessness, and variety in tone and style. They are structured with an attention-grabbing lead, coherent body paragraphs, and impactful conclusion. Common types of feature stories include informative, human interest, trend, how-to, personality profiles, personal experiences, humorous, interpretive, seasonal, and travelogue stories.
Writing for broadcast
This document provides guidance on writing for broadcast news. It discusses the key principles of broadcast writing, which emphasize brevity, clarity, and an informal conversational style.

The document also outlines "dozen deadly sins" to avoid, such as vague or negative wording, and provides tips for concise yet compelling writing.
Basics of News Writing
News writing provides important information to readers in an organized structure. It follows an inverted pyramid structure, flowing from most important to least important information.

The body then provides additional context and quotes while maintaining short paragraphs and simple language. Proper use of attribution, transitions, and grammar are important for clarity and readability. The overall goal is to concisely yet engagingly inform readers of essential details in the clearest manner.

Proper leads aim to engage the reader and provide the most essential information up front in a concise manner.

An effective copyreader has a strong command of language and grammar rules, keeps up-to-date on current events, understands the newspaper's policies, and can perform multiple jobs like writing and layout. The copyreading process entails reading the article multiple times to check the lead, facts, structure, length, and catchy headline before finalizing for printing.

Written in Homeric fashion, The Lusiads (Os Lusiadas) focuses mainly on a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries.
